(B) Substitute the variable expression provided in each answer choice, in turn, for x in the function, and you’ll find that only choice (B) provides an expression that transforms the function into one whose graph matches the one in the figure: f(x + 1) = x + 1. To confirm that the line in the figure is in fact the graph of y = x + 1, substitute the two (x,y) pairs plotted along the line for x and y in the equation. The equation holds for both pairs: (3) = (2) + 1; (–2) = (–3) + 1. 9. The correct answer is 25. The total number of bowlers in the league is 240, which is the total of the six numbers in the frequency column. The number of bowlers whose averages fall within the interval 161–200 is 60 (37 + 23). These 60 bowlers account for 60 240 , or 25%, of the league’s bowlers. 10. (C) In the scatter plot, B and D are further to the left and further up than all of the other three points (A, C, and E), which means that City B and City D receive less rainfall but higher temperatures than any of the other three cities. Statement (C) provides an accurate general statement, based on this information. 11. (D) Of six marbles altogether, two are blue. Hence, the chances of drawing a blue marble are 2 in 6, or 1 in 3, which can be expressed as the fraction 1 3 . 12. The correct answer is 3/16. Given that the ratio of the large circle’s area to the small circle’s area is 2:1, the small circle must comprise 50% of the total area of the large circle. The shaded areas comprise 3 8 the area of the small circle, and so the probability of randomly selecting a point in one of these three regions is 3 8 1 2 3 16 ×= . Exercise 1 1. (B) Since the figure shows a 45°-45°-90° triangle in which the length of one leg is known, you can easily apply either the sine or cosine function to determine the length of the hypotenuse. Applying the function sin45° = 2 2 , set the value of this function equal to x 7 opposite hypotenuse       , then solve for x: 2 2 ;2 2 ;== = x xx 7 7 72 2 . 2. (C) Since the figure shows a 30°-60°-90° triangle, you can easily apply either the sine or the cosine function to determine the length of the hypotenuse. Applying the function cos60° = 1 2 , set the value of this function equal to x 10 adjacent hypotenuse       , then solve for x: 1 2 = x 10 ; 2x = 10 ; x = 5. 3. (B) The question describes the following 30°- 60°-90° triangle: Since the length of one leg is known, you can easily apply the tangent function to determine the length of the other leg (x). Applying the function tan30° = 3 3 , set the value of this function equal to x 6 opposite adjacent       , then solve for x: 3 3 ;;== = x xx 6 363 23 . Chapter 16 306 www.petersons.com 4. (D) The area of a triangle = 1 2 × base × height. Since the figure shows a 30°-60°-90° triangle with base 3, you can easily apply the tangent function to determine the height (the vertical leg). Applying the function tan60° = 3 , let x equal the triangle’s height, set the value of this function equal to x 3 opposite adjacent       , then solve for x: 3 1 ;== x x 3 33 . Now you can determine the triangle’s area: 1 2 33 9 2 3 93 2 ×× =3,or . 5. (A) The two tracks form the legs of a right triangle, the hypotenuse of which is the shortest distance between the trains. Since the trains traveled at the same speed, the triangle’s two legs are congruent (equal in length), giving us a 1:1: 2 with angles 45°, 45°, and 90° , as the next figure shows: To answer the question, you can solve for the length of either leg (x) by applying either the sine or cosine function. Applying the function cos45° = 2 2 , set the value of this function equal to 2 x adjacent hypotenuse       , then solve for x: 2 2 ;2 2 ; 2== = x xx 70 70 35 . The question asks for an approximate distance in miles. Using 1.4 as the approximate value of 2 : x ≈ (35)(1.4) = 49. Exercise 2 1. The correct answer is 1. AB is tangent to PO ; therefore, AB PO⊥ . Since the pentagon is regular (all sides are congruent), P bisects AB . Given that the perimeter of the pentagon is 10, the length of each side is 2, and hence AP = 1. 2. (D) Since AC is tangent to the circle, m∠OBC = 90°. ∠BCO is supplementary to the 140° angle shown; thus, m∠BCO = 40° and, accordingly, m∠BOE = 50°. Since ∠BOE and ∠DOE are supplementary, m∠DOE = 130°. (This angle measure defines the measure of minor arc DE.) 3. (B) Since AB is tangent to circle O at C, you can draw a radius of length 6 from O to C , forming two congruent 45°-45°-90° triangles (∆ACO and ∆BCO), each with sides in the ratio 1:1: 2 . Thus, OA = OB = 6 2 , and AC = CB = 6. The perimeter of ∆ABO = 12 + 6 2 + 6 2 = 12 + 12 2 . 4. (D) To find the circle’s area, you must first find its radius. Draw a radius from O to any of the three points of tangency, and then construct a right triangle—for example, ∆ABC in the following figure: Since m∠BAC = 60°, m∠OAD = 30°, and ∆AOD is a 1: 3 :2 triangle. Given that the perimeter of ∆ABC is 18, AD = 3. Letting x = OD: 33 1 33 3 3 3 x xx===;;,or . The circle’s radius = 3 . Hence, its area = ππ 33 2 () = . 5. (A) Since AC is tangent to the circle, AC ⊥ BC . Accordingly, ∆ABC is a right triangle, and m∠B = 50°. Similarly, AB ⊥ DO , ∆DBO is a right triangle, and m∠DOB = 40°. ∠DOC (the angle in question) is supplementary to ∠DOB. Thus, m∠DOB = 140°. (x = 140.) Additional Geometry Topics, Data Analysis, and Probability 307 www.petersons.com Exercise 3 1. (C) For all values of x, y = – 9 2 . Thus, the equation describes a horizontal line with y- intercept – 9 2 . The slope of a horizontal line is 0 (zero). 2. (A) Apply the formula for determining a line’s slope (m): m yy xx = − − = −− −− = − = − 21 21 64 31 10 4 5 2() 3. (B) In the general equation y = mx + b, the slope (m) is given as 3. To determine b, substitute –3 for x and 3 for y, then solve for b: 3 = 3(–3) + b; 12 = b. 4. (D) Line P slopes upward from left to right at an angle less than 45°. Thus, the line’s slope (m in the equation y = mx + b) is a positive fraction less than 1. Also, line P crosses the y-axis at a positive y-value (above the x-axis). Thus, the line’s y-intercept (b in the equation y = mx + b) is positive. Only choice (D) provides an equation that meets both conditions. 5. (E) First, find the midpoint of the line segment, which is where it intersects its perpendicular bisector. The midpoint’s x- coordinate is 43 2 1 2 − = , and its y-coordinate is − + = 25 2 3 2 . Next, determine the slope of the line segment: 52 34 7 7 1 −− −− = − = − () . Since the slope of the line segment is –1, the slope of its perpendicular bisector is 1. Plug (x,y) pair (,) 1 2 3 2 and slope (m) 1 into the standard form of the equation for a line (y = mx + b), then solve for b (the y-intercept): 3 2 1 1 2 1 =       + = () b b You now know the equation of the line: y = x + 1. Exercise 4 1. The correct answer is 4. For every value of x, f(x) is the corresponding y-value. By visual inspection, you can see that the maximum y- value is 4 and that the graph attains this value twice, at (–8,4) and (4,4). Similarly, the minimum value of y is –4 and the graph attains this value twice, at (–4,–4) and (8,–4); in both instances, the absolute value of y is 4. Thus, the absolute value of y is at its maximum at four different x-values. 2. (E) The figure shows the graph of y = 2. For any real number x, f(x) = 2. Thus, regardless of what number is added to or subtracted from x, the result is still a number whose function is 2 (y = 2). 3. (D) To determine the features of the transformed line, substitute x − 2 2 for x in the function: f xx xx − () = − () − = −−= − 2 2 2 2 2224 The correct figure should show the graph of the equation y = x – 4. Choice (D) shows the graph of a line with slope 1 and y-intercept –4, which matches the features of this equation. No other answer choice provides a graph with both these features. 4. (D) Substitute (x+ 1) for x in the function: f(x + 1) = [(x + 1) – 1] 2 + 1 = x 2 + 1 In the xy-plane, the equation of f(x + 1) is y = x 2 + 1. To find the y-intercept of this equation’s graph, let x = 0, then solve for y: y = (0) 2 + 1 = 1 5. (A) The graph of x = –(y 2 ) is a parabola opening to the left with vertex at the origin (0,0). The function f(y) = –(y 2 + 1) is equivalent to f(y) = –y 2 – 1, the graph of which is the graph of x = –(y 2 ), except translated one unit to the left, as the figure shows. [Since (–y) 2 = y 2 for any real number y, substituting –y for y in the function f(y) = –(y 2 + 1) does not transform the function in any way.] Chapter 16 308 www.petersons.com Exercise 5 1. (D) Division D’s income accounted for 30% of $1,560,000, or $468,000. Income from Division C was 20% of $1,560,000, or $312,000. To answer the question, subtract: $468,000 – $312,000 = $156,000. 2. (A) Visual inspection reveals that the aggregate amount awarded in 1995 exceeded that of any of the other 3 years shown. During that year, minority awards totaled approximately $730,000 and non-minority awards totaled approximately $600,000. The difference between the two amounts is $130,000. 3. (E) The two greatest two-month percent increases for City X were from 1/1 to 3/1 and from 5/1 to 7/1. Although the temperature increased by a greater amount during the latter period, the percent increase was greater from 1/ 1 to 3/1: January–March: from 30 degrees to 50 degrees, a 66% increase May–July: from 60 degrees to 90 degrees, a 50% increase During the period from 1/1 to 3/1, the highest daily temperature for City Y shown on the chart is appoximately 66 degrees. 4. (A) To answer the question, you can add together the “rise” (vertical distance) and the “run” (horizontal distance) from point O to each of the five lettered points (A–E). The shortest combined length represents the fastest combined (total) race time. Or, you can draw a line segment from point O to each of the five points—the shortest segment indicating the fastest combined time. As you can see, OA is the shortest segment, showing that cyclist A finished the two races in the fastest combined time. 5. (C) You can approximate the (race 1):(race 2) time ratio for the ten cyclists as a group by drawing a ray extending from point O through the “middle” of the cluster of points—as nearly as possible. Each of the five answer choices suggests a distinct slope for the ray. Choice (C) suggests a ray with slope 1 (a 45° angle), which does in fact appear to extend through the middle of the points: (Although six points are located above the ray, while only four are located below the ray, the ones below the ray, as a group, are further from the ray; so the overall distribution of values is fairly balanced above versus below the ray.) Any ray with a significantly flatter slope (answer choice A or B) or steeper slope (answer choice D or E) would not extend through the “middle” of the ten points and therefore would not indicate an accurate average (race 1):(race 2) ratio. Additional Geometry Topics, Data Analysis, and Probability 309 www.petersons.com Exercise 6 1. (D) There are two ways among five possible occurrences that a cherry candy will be selected. Thus, the probability of selecting a cherry candy is 2 5 . 2. (B) In each set are three distinct member pairs. Thus the probability of selecting any pair is one in three, or 1 3 . Accordingly, the probability of selecting fruit and salad from the appetizer menu along with squash and peas from the vegetable menu is 1 3 1 3 1 9 ×= . 3. (E) You must first calculate the chances of picking the same student twice, by multiplying together the two individual probabilities for the student: 1 7 1 7 1 49 ×= . The probability of picking the same student twice, added to the probability of not picking the same student twice, equals 1. So to answer the question, subtract 1 49 from 1. 4. (C) Let x = the number of quarters in the bank (this is the numerator of the probability formula’s fraction), and let x + 72 = the total number of coins (the fraction’s denominator). Solve for x: 1 472 72 4 72 3 24 = + += = = x x xx x x 5. The correct answer is 1/6. Given that the ratio of the large circle’s area to the small circle’s area is 3:1, the area of the “ring” must be twice that of the small circle. Hence the probability of randomly selecting a point in the outer ring is 2 3 . The shaded area accounts for 1 4 of the ring, and so the probability of selecting a point in the shaded area is 2 3 1 4 2 12 1 6 ×= = . Retest 1. (E) Since the figure shows a 45°-45°-90° triangle in which the length of the hypotenuse is known, you can easily apply either the sine or cosine function to determine the length of either leg. Applying the function cos45° = 2 2 , set the value of this function equal to 2 x adjacent hypotenuse       , then solve for x: 2 2 2 ;2 2 2 ;2 ;== ()() == x xxx 4 484 . 2. (C) The two flight paths form the legs of a right triangle, the hypotenuse of which is the shortest distance between the trains (40 miles). As the next figure shows, a 120° turn to either the left or right allows for two scenarios (point T is the terminal): As the figures show, the two flight paths, along with a line segment connecting the two planes, form a 30°-60°-90° triangle with sides in the ratio 1: 3 :2. To answer the question, solve for the length of the longer leg (x), which is opposite the 60° angle. One way to solve for x is by applying either the sine or cosine function. Applying the function sin60° = 3 2 , set the value of this function equal to x 40 opposite hypotenuse       , then solve for x: Chapter 16 310 www.petersons.com 3 2 ;2 3; 3== = x xx 40 40 20 . The question asks for an approximate distance in miles. Using 1.7 as the approximate value of 3 : x ≈ (20)(1.7) = 34. 3. (D) The entire area between the two circles is the area of the larger minus the area of the smaller. Letting that area equal A: Arr rr r = () − = − = ππ ππ π 2 4 3 2 2 22 2 Drawing a line segment from C to O forms two right triangles, each with hypotenuse 2r. Since OC = r, by the Pythagorean Theorem, the ratios among the triangle’s sides are 1: 3 :2, with corresponding angle ratios 90°:60°:30°. ∠A and ∠B each = 30°. Accordingly, interior ∠AOB measures 120°, or one third the degree measure of the circle. Hence, the area of the shaded region is two thirds of area A and must equal 2πr 2 . 4. (E) The line shows a negative y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the vertical axis) and a negative slope less than –1 (that is, slightly more horizontal than a 45° angle). In equation (E), − 2 3 is the slope and –3 is the y- intercept. Thus, equation (E) matches the graph of the line. 5. (B) Points (5,–2) and (–3,3) are two points on line b. The slope of b is the change in the y- coordinates divided by the corresponding change in the x-coordinate: m b = −− −− = − − 32 35 5 8 5 8 () ,or 6. (E) Put the equation given in the question into the form y = mx + b: 426 246 23 xy yx yx − = = − = − The line’s slope (m) is 2. Accordingly, the slope of a line perpendicular to this line is – 1 2 . Given a y-intercept of 3, the equation of the perpendicular line is y = – 1 2 x + 3. Reworking this equation to match the form of the answer choices yields 2y + x = 6. 7. (D) The figure shows the graph of y = 2x, whose slope (2) is twice the negative reciprocal of − 1 2 , which is the slope of the graph of f(x) = − 1 2 x. You obtain this slope by substituting –4x for x in the function: f(–4x) = − 1 2 (–4x) = 2x. 8. (E) Substitute the variable expression given in each answer choice, in turn, for x in the function f(x) = –2x 2 + 2. Substituting − x 2 (given in choice E) for x yields the equation y x = − + 2 4 2 : f xx x x − () = − () − () +=− ()       += − + 2 2 2 22 4 2 2 8 2 2 2 2 ,, o r − + x 2 4 2 The graph of y x = − 2 4 is a downward opening parabola with vertex at the origin (0,0). The figure shows the graph of that equation, except translated 2 units up. To confirm that (E) is the correct choice, substitute the (x,y) pairs (–4,–2) and (4,–2), which are shown in the graph, for x and y in the equation y x = − + 2 4 2 , and you’ll find that the equation holds for both value pairs. 9. The correct answer is 6. By multiplying the number of chickens by the number of eggs they lay per week, then adding together the products, you can find the number of eggs laid by chickens laying 9 or fewer eggs per week: (2)(9) + (4)(8) + (5)(7) + (3)(6) + (2)(5) + (0)(4) + (2)(3) = 119 eggs. To find the number of chickens that laid 10 eggs during the week, subtract 119 from 179 (the total number of eggs): 179 – 119 = 60. Then divide 60 by 10 to get 6 chickens. Additional Geometry Topics, Data Analysis, and Probability 311 www.petersons.com 10. (E) For each year, visually compare the difference in height between Country X’s white bar and Country Y’s dark bar. (For each year, the left-hand bars represent data for Country X, while the right-hand bars represent data for Country Y.) A quick inspection reveals that only for the year 1990 is Country Y’s dark bar approximately twice the height of Country X’s white bar. Although you don’t need to determine dollar amounts, during 1990, Country Y’s imports totaled about $55 million, while Country X’s exports totaled about $28 million. 11. (D) Regardless of the number of marbles in the bag, the red : blue : green marble ratio is 4:2:1. As you can see, blue marbles account for 2 7 of the total number of marbles. Thus, the probability of picking a blue marble is 2 7 . 12. (A) The probability that the left-hand die will NOT show a solid face is 3 in 6, or 1 2 . The probability that the right-hand die will NOT show a solid face is 2 in 6, or 1 3 . To calculate the combined probability of these two independent events occurring, multiply: 1 2 1 3 1 6 ×= . 313 17 Practice Tests PRACTICE TEST A Answer Sheet Directions: For each question, darken the oval that corresponds to your answer choice.
